Gossip Friday: We Knew Him When

From January 1932:

When Clark Gable walks into the studio lunchroom all the boys and girls “who knew him when” rush to him, pat him on the back and say, “Clark, old boy, old boy, we always knew you could do it.” 

But they didn’t. They used to think he was a ham actor.

And Clark knows that the minute he makes a couple of no-good pictures and the dimples don’t flourish. his fair weather friends will be colder than dead love.
